Chapter 482: Schedule Adjustment

In the summer of 2022, the fans were more lonely, because the World Cup was supposed to be held in the summer, but this time it was moved to the winter, and throughout the summer, there was no decent game.

The 32 teams participating in the Qatar World Cup have now all been decided, and this summer, the teams have begun to prepare for the World Cup in a few months' time.

The 2022 Qatar World Cup has been moved from the usual June and July to November 21 and December 18.

When it is determined that the right to host the 2022 World Cup belongs to Qatar, the rescheduling of the World Cup is already a certainty.

In June and July in Qatar, the temperature is as high as 40 degrees or more, and football matches cannot be played at all, even if the World Cup is adjusted to November and December, at this time, according to the principle of seasonal rotation, it is already winter in Qatar, but the temperature is still more than 30 degrees.

The temperature that is more suitable for football matches should be around 25 degrees, and more than 30 degrees is relatively high.

Fortunately, in order to host this World Cup, Qatar has installed the stadium air-conditioning system independently developed by the country in each host stadium, and after the air-conditioning system is turned on, the temperature in the stadium can be adjusted to below 25 degrees.

Although it is expensive to turn on the air conditioning in a large stadium that can accommodate 40,000 or 50,000 fans, who makes Qatar rich?

If you have money, you can do whatever you want.

The adjustment of the time of this World Cup is a very big test for the players of the participating teams.

Originally, when the World Cup was held in June and July, it happened to be in the off-season of the European competition, the center of world football, and it was mainly the international players who played in various European leagues that could rest and adjust for one or two decades after a long season, and then compete for the World Cup.

Although one or twenty days is not enough time to get the players back to their best condition, it is the best way for the players and the club, and it will not hurt the commercial benefits of the club too much.

In order to ensure the commercial benefits of the club, FIFA has bought a huge amount of commercial insurance for the players participating in the World Cup, and the club can get certain insurance compensation in case a player is seriously injured during the World Cup and hurts the interests of the club.

In addition, FIFA's prize money distribution plan also has a large amount of money, which is allocated to the clubs to which the participating players belong.

But this time, the time of the World Cup has been adjusted to November and December, and at this time, it is the time when the European arena is in full swing, and in order to make way for the World Cup, the European arena will have to be suspended for at least a month and a half!

This will not only pose a severe test for the continuity of the major leagues in Europe, but also cause a lot of damage to the interests of the clubs.

Players who were in the physical stage and could perform at their best in club competitions were sent back to their respective national teams to compete in the World Cup.

The significance of participating in the World Cup to the players is self-evident.

In order to protect their own interests, clubs will secretly ask their players not to work so hard in the World Cup, especially not to get injured, in other words, not to give their all in the World Cup games.

However, when standing on the World Cup stage, the players no longer represent individuals, but the whole country!

Fans all over the country are watching the game, and the players are not professional actors, nor are they forbidden robots.

Whether a player is putting all his energy into the game or not, a discerning person can tell at a glance.

Moreover, the trend of the game is no longer under the control of a player, and when the game situation is unfavorable or there is an unexpected situation, it is impossible for the player to stay even if he wants to.

Therefore, this month's World Cup is bound to have an incalculable impact on the major European leagues whose schedules have been interrupted.

Fortunately, the impact only exists in this World Cup, and the time of the next World Cup will return to the usual track.

In order to ensure the competitiveness and enjoyment of the World Cup, FIFA has increased the bonus distribution of this World Cup on the original basis, adding an additional bonus of 500 million euros, which will be distributed to the clubs to which the participating players belong to make up for the interests of the clubs.

Only then did it reach an agreement with the clubs of the major leagues in the European schedule, and the clubs would not hinder the holding of the World Cup.

In order to make way for the World Cup, the major European leagues have adjusted the schedule of the 2022-2023 season.

Originally, the opening time of the new season of the five major European leagues was in mid to late August, but this season, it was advanced to the beginning of August; Then, the schedule, which was supposed to end at the end of May, was postponed to mid-June.

The Champions League schedule has also been adjusted accordingly, and the group stage will be completed before the start of the World Cup.

The summer vacation of the players who play in Europe has also been compressed, from the original one and a half months to one month, and they began to assemble in early July for the pre-season training camp for the new season.

Therefore, according to the established plan, it will be held from early July to mid-August, in the five football training bases in the Dragon Kingdom, and the fourth phase of the "National Youth Football Training Camp", Shen Feng, as the initiator and spokesperson, will not be able to participate in the first three phases.

It's not that you can't participate at all, it's just that you can't attend in person.

Shen Feng also used modern scientific and technological means to communicate cordially with tens of thousands of young players who participated in this training camp through video connection during the training camp.

In addition, during the Inter Milan team's visit to Dragon Country to participate in the International Champions Cup, Shen Feng also squeezed out a few days to go to the five bases of the training camp to visit the young players, and fulfilled their dream of close contact with their idols.

Shen Feng is the common idol of the young players of the Dragon Kingdom!

The schedule is ahead of schedule, the impact on the new season, is not very big, two months, enough time for the players to sweep away the fatigue of last season, with full physical fitness, full of mental state, into the journey of the new season.

Inter Milan team this season, the lineup has been relatively large, 37-year-old Modric, 36-year-old Perisic, affected by age, has been unable to ensure their condition for a long time, can only put some physical fitness, energy, in more critical games.

In other games, Inter Milan sent new recruits.
